Detective Comics #497 - Don Newton art

Detective Comics v1 #497, 1980 - On a mission for the government, the Batman travels to Mexico to apprehend the Squid and the top secret documents in his possession. Don Newton's Batman is as dark and ominous as his best renditions. His highlighting and shadows always heighten the drama of the scenes. Dan Adkins again proves himself as the best inker for Newton's organic style. Other artists in this issue include Jose Delbo, Joe Giella and Jim Aparo (cover). - - - - - - - - - -"Bad Night in Baja" Newton story pencils (Dan Adkins inks) 15 pages = ***
